I’ve switched from MovableType to WordPress today, as I fancied some more templates to use. The transition wasn’t as easy as it should have been, I ran into various problems. Most of these weren’t due to WP itself, but me.

The main, and the only one I haven’t resolved, is the import of comments. This should’ve been done automatically, but as you may have noticed, it wasn’t. I’ve posted a message on the WordPress Support Forum, and you can view it here. If anyone knows how to fix it, please reply either here or there. Ah, they are there, just need approving! Duh!
Other problems included redirecting RSS and Atom feeds, however this was fixed with some simple .htaccess.

I’m still getting use to the template system and I am finding it hard to find where to put my Google adverts. if any other users of WP can tell me, I’d once again really appreciate it.

I am extremely impressed with WP, and the user interface is much nicer than the last time I considered it (1.5.2). Oh, and I love the Ajax and dynamic templates!

And yes, I got chosen as a BlogMad beta tester!
